I am sorry for the use of this overused slogan – but we really do!
St Peter’s church, Thornton is a medieval, grade 1 listed building admired by all who visit.
However, because of this grand lady’s age she does need considerable care and repair.
To access the church there are 6 steps to negotiate, this of course is after the path has been descended!
So, as well as for the ongoing repairs we also need funds for the installation of a lift to allow easy access.
The well established fund-raising group, The Friends of St Peter’s (FOSP) has been raising funds since 1995 holding events such as Open Gardens, Quiz Nights, Craft Fayres, Christmas Tree Festivals, Clear Out Sales, Greeting card and Treasure Hunt sales and much more.
Our fund raising events are very well supported and we recognise that St Peter’s is valued by many throughout our local villages.
Thank you to you all.
Here’s where we need help.
We are very short of committee members (trustees).
The group meets around every couple of months usually when there is a need; plans fundraising events, and agrees how the raised money should be spent in conjunction with the church council.
Meetings are friendly, happy occasions. (One member said he laughed more at our meetings than at any other.) You do not have to be a church goer to join the team.
If you are even a little bit interested in joining the team please do contact us. Your involvement can be as little or as much as you like.
We just need to make sure that this heritage building is kept in good condition for future generations.
If you are unable to join the committee, but would like to support FOSP and help our lovely building, please do contact us.
